- Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Apr 2003)
David Norris: I thank the Leader for arranging this debate on Iraq which is important, particularly in the light of the news overnight of further very significant civilian casualties, including children. I am very grateful that we are having this debate also because of the comments of British soldiers that the American pilots who shot them up were "cowboys out on a jolly". In that context, I want to ask...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (2 Apr 2003)
David Norris: This is a specific request to the Leader that she should ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs to take this action and I have couched it in very mild and moderate terms, especially in the light of the fact that the film taken by the cameraman is apparently so unspeakable that it cannot be shown on television.
- Seanad: Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements. (2 Apr 2003)
David Norris: This is a filthy and unjustifiable war. While I know he is a decent man who feels things keenly, the Minister of State mentioned the fact that, as we have just heard, a maternity hospital had been bombed. Are we now to be told that the babies in their incubators bombed themselves? This the kind of thing the Americans have been saying. With regard to this business of liberating people and...

David Norris: It may be, but I am going to finish this. I mean no disrespect, a Chathaoirligh, but I just want to finish two points. We have had Rumsfeld trying to involve Syria and Iran. Is there not enough blood for him? We have had Hosni Mubarak saying there will be 100 more Osamas, and there will. It is totally disproportionate. I mentioned Macbeth. I hope that somebody around Bush has the intelligence...

David Norris: I acknowledge the honourable behaviour of Government Members who, in firm tones, supported calls for a debate on Iraq. Their stance may lead to pressure from within their parties, but I have no doubt that they will be vindicated by history. I join others in calling for such a debate. Will the Leader will give an indication of the particular times at which a series of rolling debates can be...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (1 Apr 2003)
David Norris: Will the Leader try to confirm with the US authorities that they are jamming Al-Jazeera and that American agents are hacking into the Al-Jazeera website in order that people in this country cannot gain access to it? I support Senator O'Toole's remarks about a delegation. I am an SRC, a state registered coward. I do not enjoy danger or the prospect of pain but I will go if this is organised....
